This giant planter is more than just a pot—it’s a showcase of what 3D printing can achieve on a grand scale. Whether you’re looking to make a bold statement in your home or want to impress clients at a 3D printing business, this planter serves as both a functional piece and a conversation starter.
I created this planter to accommodate the needs of deep-rooted plants like the Ctenanthe, which require ample root space but typically find planters either too shallow or too bulky. My design strikes a balance by offering a tall, slim, and lightweight structure without compromising on depth. Unlike other large planters that only provide shallow containers within a tall shell, my planter maximizes root space, ensuring your plants can thrive.
This modular planter also offers a customizable outer shell that you can adapt to your style, and it can even be printed with PLA. While this version is optimized for deep-rooted plants, the design is flexible enough to allow for a shallower container if needed, making it versatile for various plant types.
